2 - Jones also revealed leading receiver Duron Carter will once again play offense and defense, and start at CB. The 25-year old had a Pick 6 against the Stampeders but didn't see any time on offense. Jones said that's because Carter's services weren't needed on offense because of the way the game was going.

3 - Asked what other positions Carter can play proficiently, Duron said "quarterback".

4 - WR Naaman Roosevelt will miss a second straight game due to a concussion. LB Sam Eguavoen will miss this game as well due to injury.

5 - 10-year OL Brendon Labatte was signed to a 4-year contract extension on Monday. The Weyburn product said talks on the new contract extend back a year-and-a-half. The 2013 CFL Lineman of the Year said this is is home and he doesn't want to play anywhere else.

6 - Regarding being pulled after two series in Calgary, quarterback Kevin Glenn said he can't get worried about things he can't control. He said there's a lot of other issues that are more troublesome at this time of year than that.

A great opportunity for young Rider fans to watch some old-time football involving Rider royalty - Reed and Lancaster - in their prime this Wednesday when ESPN's Grey Cup Classics has the 1972 Grey Cup Riders vs. Hamilton.

They don’t want who not to succeed? Kind of a dumb comment since the article is about Glen, Duron, Namaan and Brendan. Which all 4 have been put into positions that both protect them and allow them to excel. I would suggest your comment was designed to stir the pot. Since it’s lacking information it has done nothing of the sort. I’m still not sure why some come on here with nothing more than self serving dribble. Always the same; lacking credibility and in this case... lacking in every aspect. I for one am extremely happy that Brendan has resigned. That Glen is the starter with Bridge ready to step in as a reliever. As well as the CFLs most talented athlete Duron Carter gets to start at Corner once again. Simply because Duron is a phenom at receiver. He can go in on offence anytime if a big play is needed. Having the Luxury of the Riders 2 best Receivers not playing. Yet still taking the Stamps out in their own ball park. Makes for confusing defensive issues for the compition. Which receiver do they focus on? What style or type of QB do they prepare for. Chris Jones has a system and it’s working just fine. Head Coach and GM Chris Jones has made me do an about face and admit that my lack of patience is my own problem. I for one would like to publicly apologize to Jones for speaking out of turn. When we were losing and being fined from a Commissioner that did nothing to help the league. It was frustrating and embarrassing. Only later finding out that Oridge was nothing more than a puppet for a couple owners that could see that SK was going to rise up out of the dirt in the same fashion that Toronto did in 2011-12 and Hamilton had done with Austin bringing in and shipping out even more players than SK did without ever getting even a warning. We are going to build a sustainable competitive team that will challenge each and every year. The numbers show that when SK does well. The whole league does well. As Rider fans drive the fan base. We make other teams fans sit up and take notice. Nothing drives sales better than friendly competition at all levels.

Jonsing for Victories now being fedEating Crow with a side dish of humility. For such a poor quality meal. It actually tastes ok. Just waiting to spice it up with a little defeated Red and White Horse Radish. So Bo give us Mo of that there cream of defeat that looked so good on you! LOL

Win a playoff game anywhere Edmonton,Winnipeg or out east and you can start extolling the virtues of the Jones regime. I'm a rider fan and i believe jones has this franchise on the right path but pull the horses back until November

Just looked at the Las Vegas odds on one betting site and the 4th place riders are 2nd from the bottom as favourites to win the cup as there are 4 other teams ahead of them as favourites to win the cup ,so I guess we all know how vegas feels about the riders chances.

A red herring is about all Glenn can throw these days. He CAN control what he does on the field. That is what he should worry about. It's not like he's getting benched because he's getting good results.
